I never have any leftovers when I make this recipe! Only thing I do differently is add more peanut butter. Also - for those looking to save a little money on the chocolate, I use Hershey's milk chocolate chips. Work just as well as the candy bars and are MUCH cheaper! Be sure to get Hershey's brand only - generic milk chocolate chips don't work.

I just attempted to make this and it started off well. The cake was baking beautifully and only had about another ten minutes or so to bake. I went to check on it and somehow it liquified to this buttery looking mess. I have no idea what happended, i followed the recipe exactly.

I bake these dessert bars any time I need a quick and yummy dessert. Everyone loves them! The cake is moist, fluffy, and sweet and the chocolate and peanut butter combo is perfect. I plan on making these forever using this exact recipe. Thanks!

We love these!! I have been making these for years and my mom and grandma made them for as long as i can remember and everyone loves them. I always make these when i have to bring a dessert to a party and they always disappear. And they are easy and quick to make.

I've enjoyed these homemade cakes since I was little as we found the recipe in a cookbook put out by a local high school band as a fundraiser. Throughout the years we've misplaced the book, but I have to say that this recipe is the better than what we originally made. Our recipe called for a bag of melted milk chocolate chips rather than the candy bars...I still use that method today and microwave the milk and butter together even though some don't. I also quick set the peanut butter in the freezer but only set the chocolate in the fridge as using the chips makes the chocolate harder to cut. These don't last long at the house or at bake sales, let me tell ya!

Fan-Freaking-tastic i only used about three quarters of a pound of chocolate bars ( the ones made in Hershey P.A.) And the choosey mothers peanut butter and wow what a treat ! I have not had true Tandy Cakes in 20 years and they tasted ALMOST exactly as i remember. Watch cake cooking time my oven was faster. Cut while chocolate is still melty and use parchement. EXCELLENT!!!
